Christmas in Edison 2017 - Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells!

Christmas in Downtown Edison – 2017

Twas’ a month before Christmas and those sly little elves,

 Edison’s Mayor Lankey & Super O’Malley again labored to benefit themselves.

Now up to 15.4% and 20.0% in tax hikes during their reign,

one via Dem-Party Oligarchy and the other a Leadership wane.

One wins reelection by not debating his dubious record and hiding away,

and the other tries to sneak in a new employment contract before election day.

Not remotely caring a wit what the People might think,

they again advance their own agendas in spite of the stink.

One has a Council that voted in all his tax increases without exception,

and the other a Board that Leads from so far behind that they’ve lost direction.

If campaigns are about winning and if this past one is any indication,

then gutter-level, self-serving governing is certainly the disconcerting implication .

And putting their thumbs to the tips of their noses while laughing at You and Me,

Lankey and the Dem-Party Oligarchy gets another four years so undeservedly.

And O’Malley gets another shot at extending his employment contract early,

without any public discussion or support by the Board of why it should be .

They’re not concerned about disrespecting the public per se,

dubious transparency, misinformation and misdirection is their Ruling way.

Lankey knew that not debating and hiding from Hahn was his only way to win,

and O’Malley knew any change and his Safe-Haven contract hits the garbage bin.

So while we all scratch our heads and say What the Hey!,

Lankey gets to do it to you again and O’Malley gets the same Board to play.

And then there’s ‘Deputy-dog’ Charlie ‘I Abstain’ Tomaro winning yet again,

proving even with19.3% in County tax hikes you still think he’s your friend.

In this season of giving, Lankey & O’Malley will again be on the take,

Lankey continuing without any checks and balances remains a big mistake.

And O’Malley with the same Board over on Mythomania Lane back,

Is Happy that his Safe-Haven contract is safely back on track.

If in this feeling I’m not alone,

take up your pen or pick up the phone.

Let Lankey & O’Malley know that true leaders pave the way,

and Not Disrespect the People of Edison with the games that they play.

Elections do have consequences here in Downtown Edison,

so I hope You’ll again enjoy opening Your purse and taking Your medicine.

And I heard them exclaim with another year under hand,

Merry Christmas to Edison, and let all the People yet again be Scammed!?!
